New Games

Known to some NES gamers as Dragon Warrior IV, the 2-D game has been updated and re-released a number of times since then. The title features five chapters, totaling more than 40 hours of gameplay, and it’s got the price to match. Nostalgic gamers might want to give it a go, but the newest version might draw in some more modern RPG fans, as well.

Godus (free) — Godus is a new game from Peter Molyneux, published by DeNA Corp.
